Van Morrison is a Northern Irish singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He is one of the most influential and acclaimed artists of his generation, and his career spans over five decades. Morrison is known for his eclectic musical style, which incorporates elements of rock, jazz, blues, soul, and Celtic music. His songs are often characterized by their poetic lyrics and soulful vocals.
Morrison was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in 1945. He began his music career in the early 1960s as a member of the band Them. The band released several successful singles, including "Gloria" and "Here Comes the Night." In 1966, Morrison left Them to pursue a solo career.
Morrison's early solo albums were influenced by jazz and blues, but he soon began to incorporate elements of rock and soul into his music. His breakthrough album came in 1970 with Astral Weeks, a critical and commercial success. Morrison followed this album with a series of other acclaimed albums, including Moondance (1970), Tupelo Honey (1971), and Saint Dominic's Preview (1972).
Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Morrison continued to release new albums and tour extensively. He also collaborated with a variety of other artists, including John Lee Hooker, Bonnie Raitt, and the Chieftains.
In the 1990s, Morrison experienced a resurgence in popularity with the release of his album Days Like This (1992). He has continued to release new albums and tour extensively in the years since.
Morrison is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the UK Music Hall of Fame. He has also won a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
Poetic Champions Compose is one of Morrison's most acclaimed albums. It is a mix of jazz, blues, and rock, with Morrison's trademark poetic lyrics and soulful vocals. The album was a critical and commercial success, reaching number 11 on the Billboard 200 chart.
The album features several notable tracks, including "Queen of the Slipstream," a lush and atmospheric jazz-inflected ballad, and "Spanish Steps," a soulful and upbeat blues rocker. Other highlights include the bluesy "Alan Watts Blues," the Celtic-inspired "Celtic Excavation," and the spiritual ballad "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child."
Poetic Champions Compose is a must-have for any fan of Van Morrison. It is a classic album that showcases his diverse musical talents and his unique songwriting style.

The records have been lightly cleaned. Vinyl is all in sellable condition with little hiss or popping some surface wear - very very listenable items - they all lay flat no warps.  I'm not selling something I wouldn't tolerate, or have it come back to haunt me.  If there is something distinctly concerning about an album I declare it. Sometimes people want things for just album cover displa. 

Album covers may or will show wear - see pictures for s point out specific issues that I want to share

The album covers could have a vintage musk to them - where possible I do lightly wipe down the album covers.

PLEASE READ: 

General statement about what is being sold. 

The records are all decades old. 30, 40 or 50+ years. Some didn't get the proper handling so there may be surface scratches. If the record is NOT playable - I would not be selling it. There could be intro static on some tracks.

Vinyl is all in good condition possible hiss or popping with some surface wear - very listenable vinyl records 

Album cover show wear - see pictures for noticeable specifics.

IMPORTANT: Audiophiles and record resellers - saying this nicely - PLEASE SHOP ELSEWHERE - I'm not looking to get into any discussion, argument or refund over a single tic or click on the 7th track on side 2. I have no interest in comparing what you think the surface condition of the vinyl is. I'm not selling these as audiophile items, or for re-resale, these are being sold because they still play good and are enough to listen to listen to - which in almost ever case if going to be very satisfying. If won't tolerate it - I won't sell it unless for some reason it has some other value making it saleable.
